    Honda civic coupe VTi - vtec doesnt kick in

    My mate has a honda civic coupe and he didnt know it was vtec until i pointed out the vtec solenoid in his engine and confirmed his engine number as d16y8 and his ej8 stamp... i redlined his car and didnt hear any vtec switchover..his car has an exhaust and i took off his cover on his filter just to be sure...cuz its sohc can you hear anything or is just not noticeable....lol my mate thought he had a gli coupe the whole time..is their something wrong with his car??

    the ej8 (ek civic coupe VTI) has a sohc d16, so its NOT a vtec engine. my mate has one also, he wasnt happy with the power so upgraded to a b16a.
